The BRV-O
(Blast-Resistant Vehicle – Off Road ) is a multi-role vehicle
designed and manufactured by the American Company AM General for the JLTV
(Joint Light Tactical Vehicle) program for the United States Army to replace
the fleet of light tactical vehicle Humvee.

Innovation
will be represented in part by the Blast Resistant Vehicle – Off
Road (BRV-O) Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) that recently
won a $64.5 million contract, one of three awarded by the U.S. Army for
the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development phase of the JLTV program.
Based on more than a decade of AM General investments in research, development
and testing, BRV-O
epitomizes the ideal balance of protection, performance and payload; off-road
mobility; transportability; reliability; and affordability through mature
systems.

For
the first time, AM General also will exhibit its new Ground Mobility Vehicle
(GMV) specifically designed for rapidly deployable forces. The GMV 1.1
leverages the company's many years of experience supplying and supporting
the current HMMWV-based GMV for the U.S. Government. With extraordinary
mobility, performance and transportability (including CH/MH-47 internally
transportable), AM General's innovative GMV 1.1 goes faster and farther
using less fuel – and navigates more difficult terrain – than
any other vehicle of its size available today. At the same time, it is
highly reliable and affordable through the use of proven technology, cost-effective
manufacturing, and low life-cycle costs.

New right-hand
drive version of the AM General HMMWV

AM
General's global reach, will be exemplified at the AUSA Expo by a new
right-hand drive version of the HMMWV, re-engineered for the 70-plus countries
where vehicles are driven on the left side of the road. This is one of
three new internationally focused HMMWV models the company now is offering
– aiming to expand beyond the 53 foreign countries already operating
HMMWVs in their security forces. Further highlighting the company's worldwide
footprint, AM General subject matter experts will be on hand to discuss
ongoing global initiatives that range from providing genuine Original
Equipment Manufacturer parts & components; to offering supply chain
management, equipment and driver training, and field service support.

AM General's diversification into the commercial automotive
sector will be highlighted at the Expo by the MV-1 wheelchair accessible
mobility vehicle. Both gasoline and compressed natural gas versions
of the MV-1 are being produced for the Vehicle Production Group using
AM General's skilled workforce and a state-of-art commercial assembly
plant in Indiana that previously assembled the HUMMER H2 for General
Motors. The Americans with Disabilities Act compliant MV-1 is the first
vehicle designed from the ground up based on inputs from wheelchair
users.

AM General designs, engineers, manufactures, supplies
and supports specialized vehicles for commercial and military customers.
AM General has more than five decades of experience meeting the changing
needs of the defense and automotive industries, supported by its employees
at major facilities in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, and a strong supplier
base that stretches across 43 states.
